Alan ,

Most likely place for leaks are the inlet manifold or water pump gaskets especialy if the car is left standing for a long time as the gaskets get soggy.Mine leaks when not used (as do many others) and it gets wet in the "v" but once i've given it a good run it's fine .I have a header tank with a level sensor so no fear of running out of water with out knowing about it when it's too late.

Cheers Steve
